Creamy vanilla ice cream filled with Oreo cookie crumbs and chunks of crunchy cookies is about to become your new favorite ice cream. With no churning, this decadent, creamy No Churn Oreo Ice Cream is always a winner on its own or with other sweet treats.
Gather These Simple Ingredients
You only need four ingredients in order to make this amazing homemade Oreo ice cream. For measurable volumes, skip to the printable recipe card below.
- Heavy Whipping cream (heavy cream) – The heavy cream, once whipped, is what will give the ice cream a light and fluffy texture.
- Sweetened condensed milk – Don’t get this confused with evaporated milk. The sweetened condensed milk helps thicken the mixture and adds the sweetness that ice cream needs. If you don’t have this in your pantry, consider our recipe for sweetened condensed milk.
- Vanilla extract – make sure it is a pure extract, not an imitation. The best way to do this is homemade, of course.
- Oreos – I used the regular, original Oreo cookies for this recipe. However, you could use double stuffed, or any of the Oreo variations you like. There are endless flavor options and seasonal mixes available. If you want to get downright sinful, add a handful of mini chocolate chips too.
Make It!
Turn America’s favorite cookie into a delectable dairy dessert with these simple steps.
- Blend Oreos. Place a third of the Oreos in a blender or food processor and pulse until you have small crumbs and set aside.
- Make larger Oreo pieces. Crumble another third of the Oreos into small pieces with your hands, or place in a ziplock bag, crush with a rolling pin, and set aside.
- Beat cream and vanilla. Add the heavy cream and vanilla to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer just until it begins to thicken.
- Add the condensed milk and continue to cream ice cream until soft peaks are beginning to form.
- Fold in crumbs and Oreo pieces. Fold in the crumbs, followed by the crumbled Oreos.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into loaf pan. Break the remaining Oreos over the top of the ice cream, or decorate with whole Oreos.
- Freeze and serve. Place in the freezer for at least eight hours, or overnight to freeze. Scoop and serve as desired.
5S Philosophy 👩🏻🍳
- Salt – While the recipe doesn’t call for salt, feel free to sprinkle a little in for a salty-and-sweet version.
- Sauces – Ice cream is practically made for sauces. Drizzle on chocolate sauce, a berry coulis, or salted caramel.
- Swaps – Use this recipe as a base that you can get creative with! Instead of Oreos use other crushed cookies or candies and trade out the extract for any number of other flavors.
- Senses – Cool and creamy, crunchy and sweet, and pretty, too, this ice cream is always a show-stopping hit.
Storage
The only real way to store ice cream is to freeze it. If you store it in the refrigerator, it will inevitably melt.
Freezer
You can store it in the loaf pan that it was originally made in, just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container. Either way store it for up to 3 months.
What You Need to Know
No-churn ice cream is the magical solution for anyone who doesn’t own an ice cream maker! Instead of using special equipment to incorporate air and create a smooth texture, this method typically uses whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk to achieve that perfect creamy consistency we all love in homemade ice cream.
Sweetened condensed milk is basically the secret superhero of no-churn ice cream! The high sugar content and concentrated milk proteins prevent large ice crystals from forming during freezing, while also providing the perfect amount of sweetness and richness that makes this ice cream so irresistible.
Iciness usually sneaks in when there’s too much moisture or the cream wasn’t whipped enough before mixing. The key is to whip your cream until stiff peaks form and make sure you’re using full-fat ingredients — this helps create that smooth, creamy texture we’re all craving.
